India Proposes Draft Digital Personal Data Protection Rules

/ 1 min read

🗳️ India unveils draft Digital Personal Data Protection Rules for public consultation. The Indian government has released a draft of the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Rules, aimed at enhancing citizens’ control over their personal data. Key provisions include the right to data erasure, mechanisms for informed consent, and requirements for data fiduciaries to implement security measures like encryption and breach reporting. Organizations must also conduct annual audits and appoint a Data Protection Officer. The draft seeks public feedback until February 18, 2025, following the DPDP Act’s passage in August 2023, which was influenced by a 2017 Supreme Court ruling affirming privacy as a fundamental right. Violations could result in penalties of up to ₹250 crore (approximately $30 million).
